anonymoX for Firefox is an add-on that gives you fast, anonymous browsing in the click of a button.

If you're concerned about privacy online, anonymoX is a good option. When enabled, you'll be able to pick a random IP, delete cookies and view your public IP, all with a view to making life online just that little bit safer.

The problem with many IP hiders and proxies is that they are complicated to set up and can seriously slow down browsing. Not so with anonymoX. It installs as easily as a regular Firefox add-on, and automatically enables a random "identity". By clicking on the anonymoX icon beside the address bar, you'll then be able to pick a specific identity from the list provided, including US, European and Asian IPs.

anonymoX goes a step further by also helpfully prompting you to delete your cookies when leaving a website or changing identities, preventing that site from recognizing you. The app also lets you swap between its own service and Tor, and you can enable anonymoX information in the bottom add-on bar, showing you what identity you are currently connected to, and which IP is publicly visible. Clicking on this information will allow you to change it.

anonymoX is a good little service, although not particularly flexible. The configuration options are pretty much limited to what you see in the interface, but this means, of course, that the service is very simple to use. Using most identities, we also found anonymoX to be pretty fast, but, as always, some locales were slower than others, especially when choosing the US.

If you are looking for casual and infrequent IP hiding when using Firefox, anonymoX is a good free option. You could always upgrade to the premium service, but if you are looking for slightly more detailed and/or configurable anonymization, we suggest you look elsewhere.

Most of those programs significantly slowed down my computer and interfered with Google which would repeatedly give you those annoying visual word tests or would just freeze your activity altogether. Most of those 'privacy' downloads carried a hefty $35. dollar price tag.I am very impressed by Anonymox and recommend this to all those cyberpunks out there who value internet freedom and privacy
and who would prefer to spend their money on BitCoins than waste it on ineffective downloads. Pros: It effectively provides you with anonyminity with an easy to use interface which makes switching your IP address to various locations all over the world quick and simple. It removes all cookies effortlessly. I think it's an excellent compliment to using TOR encryption does not interfere with your Google browser... and it is FREE! Cons: Hmmm.. maybe the fact that it is not as well-known as it should be based on it's performance. But then again, publicity isn't necessarily a good thing (look at what happened to Silk Road after that article in Gawker)! I am sure the fine folks at Google are currently trying to figure out how to overcome this program to &amp;quot;better serve&amp;quot; their users (and increase their profits!)
